    I went to Pista House recently, and wow — the food was absolutely amazing! I honestly haven’t had such good Indian food anywhere in San Diego before. Every single dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced, and tasted so authentic. The Gongura flavored dishes, Mutton Sheekh Kebab, Ulavacharu flavored biryani, and Goat Keema Biryani were all exceptional. The goat keema was so tender and juicy, and for a South Indian who misses those distinct regional flavors, it truly reminded me of home. They even offer Goli Soda, which instantly took me back to my childhood — such a fun and nostalgic touch! For anyone who enjoys flavorful food with a mild spice level, I’d definitely recommend trying the Amaravathi flavored biryani — it’s absolutely delicious. The service was super friendly, and the whole experience felt warm and welcoming. If you love Indian food (or even if you think you’ve tried it all), you have to check this place out. I’m already planning my next visit!

    First time visiting Pista House. I really enjoyed the cheese naan and the chicken pieces in the butter chicken; both were flavorful and cooked well. However, the butter chicken sauce itself was a bit too salty for my taste. On the plus side, I appreciated that rice came with the meal, unlike other Indian cafés in the area where it’s an extra charge to get rice with your meal. My hostess was very nice, she showed me where the spoons etc were and on my way out she gave me a bag for my leftover meals without me even asking. Overall, it was a good experience. It made me feel that there can be good customer service. 4 stars for the wonderful customer service.

    We ordered catering from Pista House for my daughter’s birthday, and everyone loved it! Our guests were a mix of Indian, Asian, and American, so we requested less spicy food — and it was just perfect. The dishes were mildly spiced yet full of flavor. A big thank you to Suneetha and team for making everything so easy. Delivery was on time, the food was hot, and they even suggested smaller tray sizes to help us order just the right amount — really appreciated that! Highly recommend Pista House for tasty food and great service!
